Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Sharing Memory Records Between Multiple Container
Controls

Applications
using the Container control have a need to display
the same information in many containers concurrently. The problem is
to provide the application this feature without duplicating the
memory needed for each container record, each time it is displayed.

These
configurations require the application developer to
duplicate the memory used for each object being displayed in multiple
windows. For example, an object
representing a data file is shown in
a window. In other windows, showing
contrasting views of the object,
the same data file object is shown.
Existing controls would require
the same data file object to be duplicated in memory for each
additional window it is shown in, thus occupying a considerable
amount of system memory.

In addition,
the position of the record and the attributes of
the record in each container are kept separately for each record on a
per container basis. For example, the
same record can be inserted
into multiple containers each with different positions and different
attributes in each container. The
application would only be required
to allocate memory for the one record.
The container control manages
the data associated with this record across multiple containers. The
records, although the same and occupying the same memory, can appear
to be totally independent of one another to the user.

When an
application allocates record memory from the container,
the container adds a 4 byte reserved private pointer to the top of
the record memory and initializes it to NULL.
The container then
returns the application a pointer 4 bytes into the block of record
memory, thus reserving the 4 extra bytes for it's own use. (Fig. 1)

When the previously
allocated record is inserted into a
container, the container allocates a small internal block of memory
to hold specific in...
